MP: BearTrap - Early age game. Running like a cripple in a running competition.

I'd prefer 1.7 over 1.6, but we'll wait and see what happens at least until the weekend, as it's thanksgiving in US this thursday as far as I know and some people will probably be busy going around.

We'll be using asia twist with preset starting positions - I believe it's the one first in the list @ llamaserver. And that one would be this. If there's any serious bugs/something in that map I should know of, let me know. It's worked well before.

edit: QM told me on IRC that he won't be able to get a new cbm out in few weeks. Kind of shame. I'm tempted to go meddle with it myself but I don't want another cbm 1.4xx fiasco.

Re: Map

that's the version I have, I think.

Someone more map savvy will have to verify it, but I have a game from that map where two caps were adjacent (253<-> 266)

Also the japan position seemed difficult to start in.

I will reinstall it and see if I still have problems. But it says 1.2

edit: (file sizes and dates were identical) can someone look at the map for the cap problems I describe

i think 1.8 is not coming for another few weeks, so its either 1.7 or 1.6, i personally prefer 1.7 because it moved hammer to const 8, i'd like to see how thats gonna change the game balance, might shift some tier 1 powerhouses to tier 2 and vice verse

i would imaging its gonna be very hard for nations such as mictlan to maintain a full blood economy due to the unique dousing rod which effectively reduce their blood income by 40%, not that they are not overpowered before. Interesting how strategy will evolve for heavy blood dependent nations

Rabelais, 253 is not a fixed start, so the game you were in must not have used them. This game will, so there shouldn't be any problems with adjacent capitals.

The main disadvantage of starting positions like the one in Japan is the lack of neighboring provinces, which means that capitals there would have access to fewer resources. The map description explains that those starting positions have been given resource generating sites in some of the neighbors they do have, which should make the starting positions quite balanced.

So, we'll be using CBM1.7. If anyone wants to consider a mod nation, I can check them out and if they're not dwarf-overpowered, I can possibly allow them, as long as they do not conflict with CBM.
